Please don't vote for GE, not having a GE is one of the most significant differences between OSRS and RS3. The trading post was just implemented a couple months ago and is awesome. However, if people really think we still need another trade update why not update the trade post so that you can trade directly through the post like you do with the GE but without having determined prices for items.

[quote id=380-381-138-65551054-435-334482859]The GE was the first update of the series of updates that caused RuneScape to enter its decline. It preceded the free trade and wilderness removal update, which removed about a million RS players from the game. I just liked the way RS was before these updates. Another concern is how are Unid herbs going to be traded? With the GE, there would be a bunch of items named "herb" that are completely undistinguishable and a player may end up spending lots of money on herbs that they have no clue what the are. In order to fix this problem, unids would become "grimy" and "clean", another less "Old School" part of the game. You would have no clue what you were buying if that did not happen. Also, I like having to work for the items I need rather than just putting a bid in for one in the computer. I like having to meet up with the person and making the trade. Sad to see OSRS is going this way. If you enjoy a game with no EOC but the GE, there is a solution and that's called LEGACY MODE of RS3.[/quote Again Legacy mode is NOT the same as OSR if so why would their even be an OSR? Here is the intelligence of your argument for you yourself to consider: If you enjoy a game like OSR and with no GE, there is a solution for you, and thats called Call of Duty. OSR and RS3 are completely different beasts. Please make educated intelligent arguments no one has to or should be asked to play a different version of the game to suit YOUR needs. If the community wants a GE it seems YOU are in the wrong place.

I'm totally against GE and find the questions about TP really usefull. But I'm note here to just rant about this "sayin no ge, bla bla bla... angry face... bla bla... no trade bla bla bla... another angry face..."; I'm trying to give possible solutions. Giving sugestions. Not just rants.

But all that seems to happen is:
We want to be able to trade through the post
Ok
GE, you can trade through it?
Not that S*** we don't want that it F***s the game up
Repeat

Exactly how can you be pro Trading Post buy and sell from the interface without world hopping and player interaction, but against GE because you buy from the interface without world hopping and player interaction? These "elite" OSR "veterans" are very educated it seems.

I think the majority of the anti GE tribe are mostly that because they just think GE=Bad and so far there don't seem to be many logical reasons why it's so evil
My point of view is this. With GE you go; place 5 offers to buy 10 veracs helmets for 500k example and the 6th offer is Selling veracs helmets for 550k. You lazy players out there.

Is that so different from having two accounts and having one buy d bones 1500 and one selling d bones 1650...

And even then it is not simultaneous it is still two seperate actions, flipping i think it is called?

I would vote yes to the GE, but only if the price manipulation countermeasures are taken seriously. Maybe, something like, you cant sell a large quantity of an item you just bought back at a higher price until a certain period has elapsed. Might be difficult to code that. The quality of life updates sound great, especially the Ava update.

Great job, team!

At least you are making effort there, spending time. Not just place that there and get the cash later.

You mean besides the combat, the pay to win nature, and a thousand other thing :/
How are you against the GE but for the trading post being updated to allow for buying and selling through the interface it is virtually the exact same thing.
